Of arbitrator between two political par.
ties. at a time, when they refused 10 sub.
init their points Of difference to arbitra-
ton. Moreover, Judge Davis was handl-
capped by the circumstances attending
his election TO the United States senate.

elected by the democrats and In opposi-

course, neither democrats nor republi-
cans felt disposed TO make him their lead
er. Judge Davis was not intellectually
great; he was not a Marshall nor story
on the bench, but he was patriotic In
purpose, honest in his Intentions, and
free from the semblsnce Of corruption
